December 31, 201114 yr Hi everyone, i'm having some trouble with SkySpirit 767-400, I can't seem to rotate, The takeoff roll exceeds 200kts, and it just doesn't rotate, I used slew to get myself airborne and it just nose dives, Pulling my joystick all the way back doesn't climb it..Anyone know what i could do to fix this?Thank you :).. and Happy New Year!
December 31, 201114 yr You may need to adjust the stab trim for take-off. If you have no documentation, try about 3° NU as a starting point.If that doesn't work, you may need to increase the elevator effectiveness.Colin B
December 31, 201114 yr Are you using a panel merge? I seem to remember merging the SkySpirit with both the Level-D and QW panels, and although the QW works perfect now with a few tweaks, I had this exact problem with the level-D (although I could actually take off first) Sam Nicholson - UK Only just got back in to flight simming and Avsim after a year or so - pardon me whilst I find my feet again!

December 31, 201114 yr Just took it for a spin, and first attempt I went crashing into the hill just after the end of GCRR's runway. Whoops. Let it gain speed over the rocky ground and still struggled to get it up.Needs a LOT of trimming, and even on a longer runway it probably wont make it with a full load of fuel. I tried emptying both wing tanks and leaving 50% in the center and still only just got off at Arrecife.

December 31, 201114 yr You should not put fuel in the centre tank unless the wing tanks are full first. Basic fuel loading policy.Then use any centre tank fuel before the wing tanks.Colin B
